I can actually recall the era when Fry looked youthful and was considered cool. In the late-80s, he was an actor in Blackadder and part of the then-new 'Alternative' vanguard, appearing on Channel Four's Friday/Saturday Live with Ben Elton and Harry Enfield. In the very early 90s, he and Hugh Laurie had their own sketch show and appeared in adverts for the Alliance and Leicester Building Society.
He was never funny as the rest of that gang though. They all outshined him on the comedic side of things, imo.
Well I'm something of a fry skeptic these days but I'll admit he was fantastic in Blackadder back in the day.
Oh I agree he was funny, but just my personal opinion that the others were funnier.
Do you remember the movie Peter's Friends? It was him as Peter, and to me says it all about his role within his friends.
How my anger heaped misery on those around me, by TV's 'Mr Nice Guy' Griff Rhys Jones https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...-Jones.html?ito=native_share_article-masthead
I never saw him as anything but smiley until it came out about his temper.

At least he listened to those around him and got help
As was said, that's how Wodehouse wrote the character, so it worked.
See, I think he ruined it by shouting.

Good. I hope they get all the keyboard thugs.
Not gossip but I saw a sort of celebrity in the wild yesterday. In Hastings, obviously scorching, but saw filming of that Dogs Behaving Badly show with Graham Hall. He’s a big unit. Felt a bit sorry for him - 34 degrees and he is wearing a tweed waistcoat and jeans. I walked that way later and they were still filming. All that hanging around, must be so boring.
It's a relief not to have to be the beautiful one!
Greta Scacchi and Bryan Brown star in Darby And Joan as a crime-busting couple thrown together after a chance meeting in a new eight-parter on Acorn TV.
Hurrah for the return of ‘rock stars who look like ageing women’
That’s the only response that’s ever forthcoming.I’d also be really interested to see an example of this, I’ve never successfully found it myself and whenever I see someone condemning her as a bigot I ask what exactly it is she said that was so hateful and get told to “do my own research”
Even the CEO of Stonewall, when interviewed on ‘Women’s Hour’, was unable to cite a transphobic
comment by JKR. Funny, eh?
I honestly think that JK has just said what a lot of people really think but are too scared to say.
Of course, they were shown trying to promote the fictional Sprogitt and Sylvester - but in fact doing its image a disservice. S & S was, of course, really a proxy for competitors to the Alliance and Leicester. The advert attempted to work by doing down the competition to A & L.
I LOVED peters friends …. That’s a blast from the past windy !
